BaabuMS Men's Association*.
For mow than ten years, Freeport had a Board of Trade, but it went out of existence by the gradual, but Kure process, of carrying a lot of "dead wood" on the membership roll and the furthering of too many per¬ sonal movements.
The BuBiness Men's Asaoeiation succeeded the Board of Trade and for a time waa a live orifanizalion. I)in- aers featured its carrer at intervals, some goed ideas were advanced and • nomber put into effect. The Asso¬ ciation entered upon a systematic plan for collecting bills for its members, a blacklist of patrons who had im¬ paired their credit waa kept by the members ao that each could know the poor paying customers of the others, and wliich debtors had settled their accounts through the association's efforts.
The organization made announce¬ ment that a system of taking judg¬ ments against debtors would be con¬ ducted and the judgments offered for aale to the highest bidders. It was not long after this that the associa- the four Republicans who went into tion, which had become incorporated, the army and one of whom already livgan to show signs of inactivity un- has given up his life for the country, til at present, it exists  with its cor- | cannot be (juestioned. and the patriot-

Everythinir but boata the sUte already haa supplied at an outlay of over $lfi0,000,0OO, and it has offered the (rovernnwnt the free U!«e of the canal and its entire sy«t.em of termi¬ nals for any purpose that it may elect. By diverting some of the barges it hag built for uae on western rivers or by building new ones it is still possible for the Federal C^overnment to avail itself of New York's offer and aave time which is of vital im¬ portance in making AflMirka't war strew iftfi fen tn  rTwnet.

Republicans Are Loyal.
The efforts of certain I>emocralic leaders and a considerable part of the Democratic press to claim for the Democratic party a monopoly of pa- trioti.'^m is bound, in the long run, to do more damage to the Democratic party than to anyone else, because love of fair play i.s an .\merican char¬ acteristic. It is a well known fact that, with a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, President Wilson a year ago was absolutely de¬ pendent upon Republican votes to get throug'h Congress his proRram for putting the country on a war foot¬ ing. It is aKso a fact, though not, per¬ haps so well knowrn, that of nine mem¬ bers of Congress who resigned their seats within the past year, four were Republicans: Gardner, I^aGuardia, Heintz and Johnson, who left the House of Representatives to go into Xhe army, and five were Democrats: Adamson, Fitzg'erald, Bruckner, Griffin and Hulbert, who gave up their seats in the house to better their financial condition.

Tha Appellate Diviaion of the Su¬ preme Court has decided that hard cider is "booze." Many persons dis¬ covered long ago that the venerable apple juice had jajf tendencies with¬ out judicial confirmation.
By the energetic way the Liberty Ixian solicitors have started canvas¬ sing in various localities, they do not intend that anyone shall be overlook¬ ed in the great patriotic campaign to help "Uncle Sam" and his allies carry on the war to knock out Ger¬ man  autocracy.
Cigarettes have taken another jump in price. The manufacturers of many brands have also d€>cidcd to stop putting the paper "sticks" in small packages. If the increases for cigar¬ ettes and cigars continues, users will be forced to adopt cheap stogries or the "good old pipe" to save their pennies.

The expert, it would appear, is right. Freeport has a number of good business men and good stores, but like merchants in many other places, thoy have no organization in which ihey can get ideas, express their own, and work with others for mutual ad¬ vantage and the general augmentation of trade.
A revival of the Freeport Business Men's Association on a proper basis and application of ctfort to keep the merchants together should be pro¬ ductive of much good.

Why Not Effect Economy?
.As ;ia agency for tlie transporta¬ tion of war maU'rial the barge canal presents advantages to the Federal Government available nowhere else. In the matter of army trucks alone the saving would be enormous. The government is sending thousands of these trucks under their own power across the state at an expense of fuel, drivers and repairs, not to mention damagre to the highways which al¬ ready is estimated at more than a million dollars. I>abor available for higrh way work is scarce and high and material is almost impossible to ijet, as it is not classed as pi'eferrod freight under the Government's rul- inff. It haa been announced that 70,000 of these trucks -will be sent across the state and the cost of |80 •ach by canal is figured as less than half the cost of seading them over the highways without counting the coat of neceaaaty^pairs to the roads.
